An Episcopal Church invitation to receive an e-mail a day
Jason Sierra and the Rev. Greg Bezilla of Young Adult and Campus Ministries at The Episcopal Church Center, New York, write:
This Lent we invite you to join us on a journey of reflection and discernment around the questions inherent in the word “poverty.”
What is it? What does it mean? What is our Christian response?
Sixteenth century Italian writer and jurist Andrea Alciato wrote, “Poverty prevents the advancement of the best of abilities.” It is poverty that keeps individuals, communities, and entire categories of people from living into the fullness of being God has created for them. And poverty is perhaps not simply material but may manifest itself socially, politically, and spiritually. How do we examine, recognize and work to alleviate such poverty in our own lives and in the lives of those we are called to serve?
